초록

Objectives: This study evaluates the effects of the intervention program based on self-determination theory, which planned to raise capability in self-health management among middle-aged women living in rural areas. Methods: Each component of self-determination- Autonomy, Relatedness, and Competence-was applied to the intervention program. A parametric/non-parametric test was conducted to analyze data as the sample size was less than 30. Results: The intervention of the study was effective in raising leisure deprivation(p<.05), healthy lifestyle(p<.01), dietary habits(p<.01), and self-capability awareness(p<.05). Additionally, the body mass index, body fat, muscle mass, and indicators of basic physical ability such as muscle endurance and cardiopulmonary-endurance were imporved. However, changes in attitudes regarding regular exercise, physical and psychological state, and self-efficacy were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The intervention based on self-determination theory can be considered effective in imbibing skills that are required to positively change health behavior among middle-aged women. In conclusion, given the effects of the program, the intervention supported the participants to acquire health-behavior skills. Thus, we believe the intervention program based on self-determination theory can be utilized as a standard model in a wide range of health promotion fields.
